Serving and eating rice cake during Chinese New Year is an important tradition
because the Chinese homonym for cake 糕(gāo) sounds like 高, means up, high or
tall. During Chinese New Year, people will say auspicious phrases to one
another.

步步高升 (bù bù gāo shēng) means wishing that every step you take leads you to a
higher position.

快高長大(kuài gāo zhǎng dà) is usually said to children and it means wishing that
you will grow big and tall quickly.
